JUST in case you were worrying about how you will spend your evenings after both Love Island and Big Brother come to an end - don't panic as the start date for Celebrity Big Brother has been announced.

And the good news is that the famous house will be filled with famous faces just two days after the normal show comes to end - on July 28th.

The stars are currently dusting down their glad rags - gearing up for the star-studded version of our favourite Channel 5 show and judging by what we know so far it looks set to be another explosive series.

They said: “Katie was flying first class from LA to London and talking really loudly about going in to the house.

“She was overheard saying, ‘I shouldn’t tell you this, but I’m going to be in Celebrity Big Brother’.

“It was ridiculous as no one knew who she was.”

Grant Bovey - Anthea Turner's ex husband Grant has snapped up an offer of £100,000 to appear on the show.

The property magnate was declared bankrupt in 2010 and a source told us: ""Grant has never recovered financially since going bankrupt and the 'Big Brother' offer was too good to turn down ... It's not what he ideally wants to do but his firms aren't doing well at the moment and he's owed money by clients and suppliers."

He will follow in Anthea's footsteps, when she appeared in the show's first celebrity version 15 years ago.
